Pot and Rose Buds – Oil on Canvas – 11″ x 14″

On a visit to a local antique mall, I picked up this brown pot. I realized that it could yield some interesting reflections. Began to put together a still life grouping. After I started to play with folds in the fabric, I decided to remove some of the items. By reducing the set up to the pot, I could really play with the folds in the cloth and the resulting reflections. Initially, the set up only included the pot and pink roses. As I was nearing completion, we decided to add the purple flowers to add a change of color.
